Does anyone know a good pouch thing to keep my phone in while running? Currently using a money belt!

It entirely depends on what type of phone you have. I bought a generic one from Decathlon and it doesn't fit my phone. I went on Amazon and typed in the brand name and model with the words arm band and it came up with the one I now use, which fits it perfectly!

I started off with a money belt and then bought a "proper one" from sports direct which looks much cooler, but actually isn't as comfy as the cheapo money belt. mainly because the sporty one is thicker material and therefore heavier and also the straps, though adjustable aren't elasticated and so you have to have it fairly tight to stop it bouncing around.

Don't know if they do them with elasticated straps, but might be worth bearing that in mind when looking for one.

Mislaid my proper running belt this week and so was back to the pound shop money belt - felt like a neglected old friend! :)

I've got an iPhone. It's just that I was in my local park rather than the green last night and other runners seem to have their phones/iPods/players more hidden!!

I've got an iPhone and just got one from tesco for about £4! Does the job for me and it hides nicely under sleeve at the top of my arm.

I got this one for my iPhone 4S, you can't go wrong for £3.

I got a "Spibelt Black Running Pouch" from Amazon to hold my phone and key. It is really great. Does not bounce around when I run and easily stretches to fit in my phone HTC Desire. I have been using 3x a week for about a month and a half and no problems so far (looks as good as new). The one I bought costs about £15-20, but I would say it is worth the money.

I got a flip belt sportstechlab.com/Flip-Belt... which works great. Only I bought it when wearing sweats and in shiny shorts (& some weight loss?) it's getting a bit loose and bouncy ! Trying to decide weather to get another in size down or a cheap one for shorts days. It is good though, especially if lime me you don't want something round your arm.

Sports Direct do a Karrimor one very similar to the Spibelt but for only about £4. Works very well for me.

I use this Y Fumble y-fumble.com/ and am very happy with it. It fits snug, doesn't move and feels comfortable.

Another flipbelt person here, and I really like it, very comfortable.

I put my phone in my bra! Works a treat.
